Chemotherapy for pv
Apparently I have 7%
leukaemia
cells within my bone marrow. The course of treatment they are suggesting is a month in hospital on aggressive chemotherapy.

Benzene
Have MPN ppl here been exposed to benzene?I recently read it can be detrimental to the bone marrow. As a child if I got paint on my hands we would clean it off with pure benzene. I'm wondering if that is why I have PV and my sister has lymphoma. My MPN doc says no - the amount would not have been enough

Annoyed and Need to Vent
I had a blood that showed elevated counts in RBC’s, hemoglobin, and hematocrit. I got referred to a hematologist who did the JAK2 test and tested my EPO. JAK2 test is not detected & EPO is normal. He suggested that I do not have a MPN, phew what a relief right? Nope. Told me I should give blood every

Update.
Had my last infusion of Rituximab today. A doctor came to speak with me, apparently my cll is not responding to the infusions. They are hoping that this last dose will trigger a reaction but she is doubtful. She asked if I had ever taken acalabrutinib to which I said no and I think i have heard that

Lymphatic drainage massages
After reading CLL is dormant in the blood stream but active in the lymph nodes I wondered if it might be be beneficial to keep the cells circulating out of the lymph nodes as much as possible. It seems intuitive exercise and hydration would be good for this potentially but should have no real negative

A ‘wobble’ caused by subset 6 CLL.
Hi all, a very ocasional póster here but avid reader of the many highly informed contributors that make this site what it is. I was diagnosed with stage ‘A’ CLL in 2021 and continue to be on W & W. I have many of the classic symptoms but not severe enough to warrant treatment - yet! I’ve recently been

Myelofibrosis and bone pain
how do people manage bone pain with Myelofibrosis. I used to get a dull ache in my shin bone only at night occasionally but now it is just about daily and is impacting on my ability to sleep. I bought CBD oil but it is not really helping and paracetamol doesn’t work at all. I don’t want to get into

eyesight problems
hi all, I hope you are all keeping well. Just wanted to ask people who are on Interferon, have they noticed a vast change in their eyesight or is it just from the Essential Thrombocythemia itself… I know when you usually ask the Haemo docs they don’t know or are not aware of it TIA

Is MBL the same as CLL stage 0?
hi. I recently got diagnosed with MBL and I’m reading a lot about CLL stage zero on this board. I’m a little confused with the terminology. I’m trying to understand if it is the same thing or not can anyone help?

Lymphoma or unconnected New Tumour.
Hi All, further to my recent 'post' re the Bells Palsy' that never was, I want to thank you all for your support and advice. I am still waiting on a 'Biopsy' date, followed by the three week wait for results. After which I will know better, where I stand. I have received my recent Bloods from my

Feeling Happier
He explained about the risks of my MF transforming, because of the mutations I have, he said possibly In around 5 years I had a 20-25% chance of
leukaemia
, but 75% of NOT having it, and by 10 years the risk increased to around 37%. So I’m feeling a lot more positive.

has anyone gotten a rash on their feet from hydroxyurea or just having thrombocytosis
I am reaching out to you wonderful people again. I have a red blotchy rash on my feet and have had this for a year. Someone called it micro vascular but I am not too sure what that is or if this is correct. I have been taking hydroxyurea since the fall of 2020, I have essential thrombocytosis jak
